The intense competition consisted of 16 Nintendo fans, eight
pre-selected by Nintendo and eight advancing from qualifying rounds held
across the nation on May 30. After winning the final round, Goldberg was
presented his trophy by Nintendo developer Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of
the Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Donkey
Kong series, among others.

In addition to playing classic Nintendo games they were familiar with,
competitors had to quickly think on their feet when presented with Blast
Ball, a new six-player sci-fi sports experience, which made its Nintendo
3DS debut during the tournament. Another game announcement came in
the form of EarthBound Beginnings, a localized version of the
original Mother game for the Famicom (the Japanese version of the
Nintendo Entertainment System), during a pre-tournament Nintendo
Treehouse: Live segment. Revealed by the game’s creator, Shigesato Itoi,
the fan-favorite role-playing game went on sale immediately after the
tournament exclusively in the Nintendo eShop on Wii U for $6.99, marking
its debut in the U.S. after launching in Japan nearly 26 years ago.

Development of games is undertaken by a developer, which may be a single person or a large business. Typically, large-scale commercial games are created by development teams within a company specializing in computer or console games. A typical modern video game can cost from USD$1,000,000 to over $20,000,000 to develop.[1] Development is normally funded by a publisher. A contemporary game can take from one to three years to develop, though there are exceptions.
